Civil War is over, and the frontier is dead and young college men are anxious. What great struggle will test their character? Then along comes a new craze: football.

Ever since there have been humans, mosquitoes have been biting us, and we’ve been trying to kill them. And, for the most part, the mosquitoes have been winning. Until now.

6 - For the Love of Numbers (19 min)
